grimace | Poem

grimace by Yosh

I am human
and spatter the canvas
with grace and pout
ego and doubt

I love and laugh
sip and gulp

I am trying not
to be as reactive
I am prying to be
more proactive

I fell asleep at eight
the other night
and woke up around
4:20
sweating
swearing
at my own stupidity
for knocking over
the bottle of merlot
unto the white carpet.

I mustâ€™ve done it
around nine or ten
because it was as dry
as Tucson Arizona.

my right arm
was still asleep
when I awoke,

so I wiggled it
until I had some
resemblance
of feeling.

Then I smoked a
cigarette (idiot),
and went to bed.

I think I am going
to let them
take it out of my
security deposit.

til then
its just
character
and a story.
